Chords

[Intro] E [Verse 1]
F#m/B
Downtown

   Bsus4   B          Emaj7
My darling dime store thief

               G
In the War of Independence

 Asus4         A             E
Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory

  G
Under neon signs

                F#
A girl was in bloom

                  G
And a woman was fading

                E
In a suburban room

       Asus4
I said take me to the dance

        A
Do you want to dance?

    E
I love to dance
And I told him
 Bsus4            B
They don't take chances

Asus4     A     E
They seem so removed from romance

             Asus4                 A
They've been broken in churches & schools

                            E
And molded to middle class circumstance
[Chorus]
            Bsus4 B
And we were rollin'

Asus4 A
Rollin'

Gsus4 G Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
[Verse 2]
 F#m/B
Downtown

    Bsus4        B      Emaj7
The dance halls and cafes

                       G                   D
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart

                              E
Just doing the latest dance craze

           G
Gail and Louise

                    F#
In those push up brassieres

                      G
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings

                         E
Drinking up the band's beers

                 Asus4
Young love was kissing under bridges

          A
Kissing in cars

          E
Kissing in cafes

            Bsus4         B
And we were walking down Main Street

 Asus4       A        E
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays

     Asus4                     A
In France they kiss on Main Street

                   E
Amour, mama, not cheap display
[Chorus]
            Bsus4 B
And we were rollin'

Asus4 A
Rollin'

Gsus4 G  Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
[Verse 3]
F#/B
Downtown

       Bsus4 B   E
In the pinball arcade

           Asus4        A
With his head full of pool hall pitches

                        Emaj7
And songs from the hit parade

          G
He'd be singing "Bye, Bye, Love"

                                F#
While he's racking up his free play

                          G
Let those rock 'n' roll choir boys

                    E
Come and carry us away

            Asus4
Sometimes Chickie had the car

    A
Or Ron had the car

              E
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hotwire head

              Bsus4         B
We'd all go looking for a party

  Asus4     A           E
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead

           Asus4
And I'd be kissing in the back seat

 A                      E
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
[Chorus]
            Bsus4 B
And we'd be rollin'

Asus4 A
Rollin'

Gsus4 G  Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rolling
[Outro]
Bsus4 B
Rollin'

Asus4 A
Rollin'

Gsus4 G  Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'

Bsus4 B
Rollin'

Asus4 A
Rollin'
(Ritardando)
Gsus4 G  Asus4/D E
Rock 'n' rollin'
